Beyond the Diamond - A Houston Astros Baseball Podcast

Astros Keep Losing (Players & Games) - Beyond The Diamond Podcast 5/7/26

Fri, 08 May 2026 15:55:00 -0000

The boys talk about the current state of the Astros: Carlos Correa is done for 2026. The Astros have 23.5 fWAR sitting on the injured list — more than 9 entire MLB teams had all of last season. Beyond The Diamond breaks down the most brutal stretch of Astros baseball in recent memory. We dig into the full scope of the injury disaster, the Joe Espada hot seat rumblings, why the bullpen construction has the team punting games by the 4th inning, and the growing frustration with roster decisions. But it's not all doom — Peter Lambert outdueled Ohtani with 7 innings against the Dodgers, Christian Walker is hitting .307 with a .959 OPS, and the young guys like Cam Smith and Bryce Matthews are stepping up. Plus our Week 5 AL Power Rankings (the A's lead the West?!) and Dog of the Week. ⏰ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 — Intro: Five and Five, At What Cost? 0:48 — The Injury List: Correa, Brown, Diaz, McCullers & More 3:31 — 23.5 WAR on the IL — Worse Than 9 MLB Teams 4:22 — Hader & Brown Return Timelines 5:08 — Cam Smith & Bryce Matthews Stepping Up 6:49 — The Joe Espada Hot Seat Discussion 10:07 — GM & Roster Construction Frustrations 12:24 — "We're Punting Games by the 4th Inning" 15:44 — The Giolito Signing & Being Proactive 17:06 — 13 Games in 13 Days Preview 18:21 — AL Power Rankings: Week 5 24:24 — Dog of the Week: Peter Lambert 30:22 — Wrap-Up & Patreon Handlebar Mustache Bet 🎥 ABOUT BEYOND THE DIAMOND: Beyond The Diamond is a Houston Astros podcast covering Astros news, game recaps, player analysis, trade rumors, and everything happening in Astros baseball.

Dez and Josh talk about the Astros disastrous week

The Astros lead the league in runs scored and are second to last in runs allowed. Welcome to 2026. Beyond The Diamond breaks down a brutal 1-5 week that included a Rockies sweep and the Hunter Brown shoulder injury that could sideline the ace until the All-Star break.
